I believe everything except the front tie brace because the X already has a piece going in between already.

Rick,

Do you have the 4point mid chassis brace and the 6 point for our sedans? I thought only the prototype had been made?

thanks

Just differnt mounting points. The 2 point front brace mounts farther forward where the inner front lower control arms mount. The 4 point brace mounts just behine that brace to tie the left and right hand sides of the car's frame together.

I already have the 2 front outer tie braces (as well as the rear tie braces) and definitely plan to get these 2 new front braces as soon as they are available.

Hey everyone. I was just out at Riverside Infiniti yesterday picking up some other parts and talked to Rick about these new braces while I was there. In addition to the GT Spec front strut bar, they also have the GTS-SUS-1087 Rear Lower Tie Brace, and the GTS-SUS-1332 Front Sub-Frame Tie Braces in stock. According to Rick, the other GT Spec chassis braces (part #'s GTS-SUS-1347, 1348, 1349, & 1350) have not been releases yet by GT Spec, but they have them on order and will be getting them in-stock as soon as they are released.

Rick also mentioned that GT Spec will be coming out with front fender braces for the 2nd Gen G's, as well, so it sounds like GT Spec will be giving our cars the full treatment...

Can't wait!!!

Hey Csquared, here are my thoughts as to what GT Spec parts will fit the X and what won't... for what it's worth....

The Front Subframe Tie Brace (GTS-SUS-1332) will not fit the X model, per GT Specs web-site. Seeing as the new Front 2-Point Brace (GTS-SUS-1347) and 4-Point Chassis Brace (GTS-SUS-1348 both mount to the same front lower sub frame as the GTS-SUS-1332, then I would "guess" that none of these front parts will work on the X. That entire front sub frame assembly is different on the X models, so they would most likely need to have parts specifically designed and engineered for them. Keep in mind, these are only my observations and I would still suggest confirming with GT Spec which parts will and will not fit.

That said, the rear on the X is basically exactly the same as the standard RWD G.... and, GT spec has already confirmed on their web-site that the Rear Lower Tie Brace (GTS-SUS-1087) will fit all G models (including the X), except those with the 4-wheel active steering. I would also think that the new Rear Lower "M Brace" (GTS-SUS-1349) and Rear 6-Point Brace (GTS-SUS-1350) will work on the X as well, but you will of course want to confirm this with GT Spec first.

Also, the GT Spec Front Strut Tower Bar (GTS-SUS-1087) will most definitely work on your X.

Hope this helps.

Still no love for 1st gen sedans.

I want a mid-brace. Looks like custom build for me.

Just trade your 1G in on a 2G... I'm sure you can get an amazing deal on one.

looks like over $1000 worth of upgrades. How much improvement should I expect in hadling? does it worth spending so much money?

Not to rain on this parade, but was there some type of structural analysis done in the design of those bars ?

On my 1st gen IS300, TRD had a total of 2 under-chassis braces for it. One replaced a flimsy stock part, and the other connected points in the rear which were previously independent of each other. Those braces looked logical and made a noticeable difference to me.

For the G, aside from the GTSPEC Front Subframe Tie Brace (L+R) 07+ G35/G37, it looks like the other bars were just made to connect every point they could attach to. A lot of them look fairly redundant to what the car already has. I'm skeptical about GTSPEC products since they couldn't even make an STB fit without rubbing the stock engine cover; and that design resembles an STB I've had experience with that was more aesthetic than functional.
